Core Tip

Core Tip: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) drug resistance hinders clinical treatment, with slow, inaccurate detection prolonging therapy and reducing efficacy. This paper presents a novel rapid detection method for H. pylori resistance, identifying it in 28-36 hours - much faster than traditional approaches. It offers high accuracy, reliable resistance assessment, and easy operation, suitable for wide use in clinics and research. This method shows great potential to optimize clinical decisions, improve outcomes, and aid H. pylori infection management.
